Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 47
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was indeed Li Lei.

At the beginning, when he sent the housekeeper to give her the mobile phone, he had pre-stored his number. Xia Ling tried to delete it, but it couldn't be deleted.

Looking at the endless flashing incoming call notifications, Xia Ling was helpless, scratched her hair, reluctantly got out of the warm bed, put on a coat, got up and went to the balcony of the dormitory to answer the phone.

On the balcony, the night wind is cold.

The sky was dark, and there was a dark red star hanging alone in the mid-air, which looked a little bleak.Everything is silent in all directions, the endless dormitory buildings are shadowed, and the lights are dimmed.

She glanced at the big fluorescent clock opposite the dormitory building, it was one fourteen in the morning.

Very good, I don't know what kind of nerves the BOSS-sama has.

She suppressed her tiredness and let out a "Hello".

Li Lei's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she said something inarticulately, but she didn't catch it.

Xia Ling thought the signal was not good, so she frowned and changed her position, and said "Hello" again.

This time, I finally heard him calling her name: "Ye Xingling..." The voice was deep and hoarse, and even the words were blurred. It was completely different from usual, less lazy and cynical, and more lonely and... …Fragile.

She shuddered at the thought.

Could it be that he drank a bar?This thought flashed through Xia Ling's mind.

Over there, Big Boss Li stopped for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Ye Xingling, are you... still there?"

She said, "Yes."

Li Lei didn't speak anymore, there was a long silence, only the sound of breathing came through the signal quietly.

A wind blew up at night, and it brought a slight chill to the body. There was a light layer of frost on the black iron railing at hand, and it was bitingly cold when I accidentally touched it.When she came out, she was only wearing a set of pajamas. At this moment, she felt trembling all over her body. However, between going back to bed to catch up on sleep or continuing to stand here and being consumed by him, she chose the latter by accident.

Finding a leeward corner, she curled up: "Boss, what do you want from me?"

He still didn't speak, and was abnormally quiet.

However, it was abnormal for him to call her in the middle of the night. If he hadn't pronounced her name accurately, she really suspected that he just dialed the wrong number.

After waiting patiently for a while, he finally said, "I watched your performance today."

She was slightly taken aback. She didn't see him in the small performance hall during the day, so he was...

"Tan Ying sent me the video," he said.

"Boss Tan is really a good employee." Xia Ling gritted her teeth, trying not to yawn, and scolded Tan Ying a thousand times in her heart.It's because he's meddling and spreading random videos, otherwise, in the middle of the night, would Big Boss Li think of her? !
"He is indeed a good employee." Li Lei's voice was magnetically hoarse, "Tan Ying said... Maybe in the future, we will fight against the Emperor for you." His pronunciation was still a bit vague, and it took her some effort to hear it. Qing, "This is a big event. He asked me to evaluate it to see if you... are worth it."

In the apartment in Nancheng, Li Lei's slender and well-proportioned body was reclining on the leather sofa. On the LCD TV screen opposite the sofa, "The Siren" she sang a cappella at the judging meeting was playing in a loop. The foot glass stared at her, drunk, but did not tell her that he was not evaluating, but purely... wanting to see her.

On the balcony of the training camp dormitory, Xia Ling thought she understood the meaning of Tan Yingchuan's video.She couldn't help getting nervous, and asked cautiously, "Then do you think I'm worth it?"

Li Lei laughed lightly.

"Boss?" She was nervous and flustered.

"Ye Xingling," he didn't directly answer her question, but only said, "You really don't want to be my person? I can give you everything you want, and the future stardom is bright. What kind of queen, superstar, you can get it at your fingertips."

She frowned: "No."

"You make an offer."

"There is no price that can make me yield." She said coldly.

"If you don't ask for a price, go to the Emperor." On the leather sofa, he groped with some difficulty, raised his hand, filled himself another glass of wine, and drank it down.He was so drunk that his hands trembled a little, and most of the amber liquid spilled on his body, flowing down his neck to his chest, where the chest near his heart was wrapped in thick gauze, and dark blood oozes out.

No one can refuse the temptation of profit. For money, his brother, who has been through life and death for many years, betrayed him today.

There was severe pain near the heart, and Li Lei said solemnly, "Don't think that I dare not do anything to you."

Xia Ling had no idea what Boss Li was going crazy about, but obviously, it didn't make sense to reason.

Being coerced and lured by him repeatedly, she also became angry, and she couldn't help sneering: "Li Lei, you are too overestimating yourself. Is it great to be rich and powerful? Tell you, I won't be with you anymore, I am now I will tell you plainly that I will not become your man even if I die, let alone go to the Emperor! You can go to court and sue me for breach of contract, whatever you want."

She was so angry that she even burst into foul language. After she finished cursing, she hung up the phone decisively.

The night wind picked up again, and the frost spread on the black iron railing. Looking at the complicated and cold patterns, she felt astringent in her heart.I thought that after such a long time, after she refused several times, Li Lei had given up on her, but unexpectedly, he never gave up on her plan, time and time again, never forgetting.

She underestimated his patience.

Now, he wants to see it, and threatens her with the ultimate move of transferring to the emperor, but what is the essential difference between going to the emperor and becoming Pei Ziheng, and staying in Tianyi to become him?It's just a plaything.

She doesn't want to be anyone's plaything, even if she breaks the contract with Tianyi.

She doesn't intend to comply with the transfer order, and she can't afford the high liquidated damages.

She took a deep breath, and put her pale fingers on the black iron railing. The chill, bit by bit, seemed to spread to the bottom of her heart.

Back on the bed, she tossed and turned, thinking about what to do in the future, how to protect herself from being violently attacked before she fell out with Tianyi and was sent to prison.

In front of those in power, how small and vulnerable she is.

Unexpectedly, in the quiet night, she thought of a man who looked like a god——Pei Ziheng.He used to tidy up her clothes and dry her wet hair so gently.Set off fireworks together on Valentine's Day, he held her frozen hands into his arms, cut cakes together on her birthday, and gently scraped the cream off her nose...

My heart was sore and painful, empty and uncomfortable.

Xia Ling curled up tightly in the bed, and for a moment, she thought to herself, why not go back with Chu Chen, return to the embrace that she still misses, and from now on, obediently listen to him, and don't have to worry about wandering around anymore; Tell him clearly who she is, and cry in his arms.

But there is a voice in my heart that is always vigilant: Xiaoling, don’t forget those terrible past events, all tenderness is false, he turns his hands into clouds and hands into rain, and dominates your whole world, heaven or hell, only in his in a moment.

You can't even tell whether he loved you or not.

The body curled up even tighter, Xia Ling bit her teeth between her fingers, suppressing the choked sob.
